Setting Up AirPort Express
You can use AirTunes to play music from iTunes and share a USB printer in any type of
network you set up, whether it is a new network or you are joining an existing network.
If you have more than one AirPort Express, you can connect one to the stereo in your
living room and connect another to the powered speakers in your den. Using AirTunes,
you can stream your iTunes music to either AirPort Express, depending on where you
are in your house. Choose the name of the AirPort Express you want to use from the
speakers pop-up menu in iTunes.
This chapter provides an overview for using the setup assistant in AirPort Utility to set
up your network and other features of your AirPort Express. For more detailed wireless
networking information, and for information about the advanced features of AirPort
Utility, refer to the “Designing AirPort 802.11n Networks” document, located at

The document provides details for both of the following:

 Using AirPort Utility to set up your AirPort Express 802.11g Base Station
Note: You can do most of your network setup and configuration tasks using the setup
assistant in AirPort Utility. To set advanced options, choose Manual Setup from the Base
Station menu of AirPort Utility. See “Setting Advanced Options” on page 32.
